Rafting Vueltas River

Would you like to go on an adventure in El Chalten? Enjoy two hours of rafting in the Vueltas River.

Rafting Vueltas River

At the specified time, you will be picked up from your hotel in El Chaltén and transported to the Vueltas River. The experience begins with a theory lesson on paddling technique and basic safety rules.

The adventure begins! For the first 6 kilometres, the water is calmer, allowing participants to practice the techniques learned in the lesson while enjoying views of Mount Fitz Roy. The mountain was once mistakenly believed to be a volcano due to the clouds around it.

Then come the rapids, where you will navigate for almost 9 kilometres. The term "vueltas" means "turns" in Spanish, indicating winding pathways on the river.

The final stretch will be calmer, allowing adrenaline levels to normalize before heading back to the mainland and returning to the initial meeting point in a private vehicle.
